Testimonial from a bass
player midway through the Beginner course
...

"… all
has been fantastic … this course
is brilliant!

… the ability to ACTUALLY play something,
more than just mucking around playing
random notes trying to sound good.

It's fantastic everything is easy to read,
though some things are a bit confusing
at the start they soon come around with
George's great help.

… the value of Bass Lessons Online:
TEN OUT OF TEN!"

Beginner to Intermediate
eCourse Lesson Topics

In addition to the regular lesson videos with every bass lesson, Consolidation Videos are used every
2-5 lessons. They are usually 7-12 minutes long
and are in addition to text, audio, photos, notation and
tabs where required.

"Your video-lessons give not only a
very personal touch, it seems to me being the much better
way to give a comparison how to do it right then text and
stills only."
Johannes Haslauer, Graz, Austria

The bass player who wraps it up ...

"Mr. Urbaszek,

Thank you for the series of bass lessons.

The materials you offered are rich and well organized.

I have been acquiring knowlege and dexterity effectively for playing bass guitar since I signed up the beginner series.

Besides the techiniques of playing bass, I have been also inspired in learning other instrument.

Things like aural skill and humming before improvising were what I had heard but never used.
After I gave a few tries of those, the techiniques become the refreshing tools and inspired me that there may be some potential extent I can reach.

I appreciated that the bass lessons not only cover bass techiniques but broader content in playing and understanding music."

Chieh-hsun Wu (Jason) June 2012

The bass player who had tried
so much ...

"It is the
most practical application and the learning tecnique
works for me.

I've gone from not
ever playing a stringed instrument to playing
with our worship team in five months ...

I am certain that
there is not a better bargain for BASS specific
lessons anywhere! I do not know of anyone around
my area that does BASS specific lessons, by a
BASS specialist...

I have learned exponentially
faster than anything else I have ever tried!"
